Conditional Show when variable selected

hopkinsc — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:11:01 GMT

Hi, I want to conditionally show an object when a variable is selected. Can anyone tell me what to put in my conditional show expression?

My variable is

vEndDate

and i want a text object to appear when an end date is selected..

Thanks

You have to object general calculation condition and type

=not isnull(GetFieldSelections(vEndDate))

Hi, thanks for your reply, but that doesn't work...

There is no calculation condition on the general page of a text box, theres only a show condition on the layout page.

I tried it on the layout page but it doesn't work.

I want it only to appear when an end date is selected from the calender object which is using the vEndDate variable..

Use this as the show condition:

len(vEndDate)
